ZK2XD 1991 Niue Island
Operator: Jim McCook W6YA
These were what we called
"grapesmash" events. I was using a TS440 and a
cable to the input of a small tape recorder.
The plan was to line up W6 stations only to call at a meeting
time for 30 seconds.
When I returned home, the recordings were played at the San Diego
DX Club meeting where a vote was taken to pick the first station
heard in the pileup.
A bottle of wine was given to the winner.
Antenna was a 180' long wire high in the coconut palms, except
for ZK2XD where I used a 4BTV vertical on the coast next to the
sea.
Listen to the ZK2XD Grapemash recording!
